I have been in touch with Ms. Horton (TVA point of contact) at TVA
concerning TVA's presentation to the community about the
Bellefonte Draft Environmental Impact Statement. The TVA will not be
accepting public comments during this session. They will however
have a court reporter present to take your personal comments at this
"not so open house" event. The TVA also refuses to allow us to set
up inside the building during THEIR session. The TVA states they do
not allow anyone to set up during THEIR sessions other than TVA
persons. But we may set up outside as long as we do not block an
entrance to the Goosepond facility. (How nice of them to allow us
our Constitutional Rights.)

Personally I think this is fine for us and conveys a message that
the TVA does not want the public inside THEIR WORLD. They had rather
place us into the cold rather than allow opposing view points. I
will coordinate an outside set up with the City of Scottsboro if you
all would like. I have a canopy and tables we can set up on the
grass by the entrance. Think about the opportunity! This places us
into the position of being the first anyone will see while
arriving and the last they will see while departing, all the while
pointing out that TVA places us into the cold! I will contact all
local TV media for this event if you would like. This is a perfect
opportunity. This has the possibility of being a media extravaganza
for us. Tea anyone?
